Bottom line is after any length of narc's to TAPER them....even if stopping for a short time... Yeah the ultram could help some of the aches etc...but I don't know how much...Ibupropheren might be just as good....????? I personally would taper slowly...by that I mean go longer periods in between pills...then take 1/2 the amount you normally would....eg: if taking every 4 hours go every 6 hours....then every 8 hours etc...if you take 5 a day after you are up to 8 hours in between etc...then take fewer pills a day...which obviously will happen naturally if you stretch out the duration between the pills....hahaha Good luck...Jackie L..
